          Abstract

          Resumen La infección por Helicobacter pylori es una causa poco conocida en Pediatría de halitosis. Desde finales del siglo pasado existen estudios que sugieren una asociación entre la halitosis y la infección por el Helicobacter pylori y una mejoría de la misma tras la erradicación de la infección. Presentamos un caso en el que la halitosis es la única manifestación clínica de la infección por Helicobacter pylori, la cual desaparece tras la erradicación de la bacteria.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract Helicobacter pylori infection is a less known cause of halitosis in pediatrics. Since the end of the last century there have been studies suggesting an association between halitosis and Helicobacter pylori infection, and its improvement after infection eradication. We present one case in which halitosis appears as the only clinical manifestatiton of Helicobacter pylori infection, which disappears after bacterial eradication.

          Attempt to fulfil Koch's postulates for pyloric Campylobacter.

          A volunteer with histologically normal gastric mucosa received pyloric campylobacter by mouth. A mild illness developed, which lasted 14 days. Histologically proven gastritis was present on the tenth day after the ingestion of bacteria, but this had largely resolved by the fourteenth day. The syndrome of acute pyloric campylobacter gastritis is described. It is proposed that this disorder may progress to a chronic infection which predisposes to peptic ulceration.

            Halitosis and Helicobacter pylori. A possible link?

            The exact pathophysiological mechanism of halitosis is not clear, and in many patients the etiology is an enigma. We followed three couples in which one member or both had halitosis. All the subjects had evidence of Helicobacter pylori infection. All received a treatment course of colloidal bismuth subcitrate four times a day and 250 mg metronidazole three times a day. There was impressive improvement in their symptoms, the halitosis disappearing along with eradication of the organism. We call the attention of physicians to the possible connection between halitosis, H. pylori infection, and familial occurrence. Further studies to confirm this surprising association are in order.
